Come, be happy and sit near to me, Shadow-wested, shadow-wested misery, Unwilling silent bride Mourning in thy, in thy robe of pride
Come, be happy and sit near to me, Sad as I may seem, sad as I may seem to thee I'm happier far than thou, Lady whose imperial brow is endiademed with woe
Hasten, hasten to the bridal bead Underneath the, underneath the grave 'tis spread In gloom may our love hide I may rest with my eternal bride
Kiss me, kiss me, oh thy lips are cold 'Round my neck, around my neck thin arms, thin arms enfold They're soft but chill and dead And thy tears upon my head like points of frozen lead
Clasp me 'till our hearts, till our hearts be grown Like two shadows, two shadows into one 'Till this dreadful transport may Like a vapour fade away
We may dream in that eternal sleep That we are not the kind of those, who weep Even as pleasure dreams of thee Thou majest dream of her with me
